Motivating Factors Influencing Elderly Engagement in Physical Activities During COVID-19 Pandemic

Author(s) Rose A. Arceño
Country Philippines
Abstract This study explores the key motivating factors for elderly individuals to exercise, focusing on positive health outcomes. The highest motivating factor identified is positive health, with a mean value of 4.05, reflecting its impact on improving quality of life. Regular physical activity enhances overall well-being, increasing energy levels, mood, and cognitive function, motivating continued participation. Additionally, exercise reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, further incentivizing elderly individuals to stay active. Enhanced functional ability, pain management, and social connections are also significant motivators. Exercise helps maintain muscle strength, flexibility, and balance, is crucial for daily living independence, and alleviates pain from conditions like arthritis. Social interactions through group activities combat loneliness while achieving fitness goals fosters a sense of accomplishment. Conversely, social recognition is considered the least motivating factor due to intrinsic motivation, individual preferences, privacy concerns, health-related goals, and age-related changes. Elderly individuals often prioritize personal health improvements over external validation, preferring solitary activities or private settings. Their primary focus is on managing or preventing chronic conditions and maintaining independence. While social recognition may aid adherence in group settings, interventions should cater to individual needs and motivations. In summary, emphasizing the numerous benefits of physical activity, healthcare professionals and caregivers can encourage elderly individuals to adopt and sustain an active lifestyle by focusing on intrinsic motivators and personalized support.
